A “federal crime” is any offense
that violates the laws contained in the
United States Criminal Code. The offenses
are primarily white collar crimes dealing
with various frauds. These are often
accompanied by charges of money laundering
and tax evasion. All federal laws passed by
the United States Congress come under the
jurisdiction of the judicial branch of the
federal government.

Federal
lawyers defend individuals charged with
federal crimes. Federal crimes are very
serious in nature and can have catastrophic
consequences for those charged with them.
Federal lawyers represent individuals in
federal court at the arraignment, hearing,
plea bargain, or trial before a judge or
jury. Charges are brought by the U.S.
government against those accused of federal
crimes.

Some
examples of federal crimes are:

Defendants in
federal court have certain rights. These
include the right to an attorney, the right
to a jury trial, the right to confront
witnesses, the right against
self-incrimination and the right to produce
evidence. We can assist you in protecting
these rights from being violated.

What many
people fail to appreciate is that federal
criminal practice is not the same as state
criminal practice in Texas. An experienced
state court criminal lawyer with no
knowledge or understanding of the
complexities of federal criminal law can do
as much harm as good in many instances.
